Queen’s Ransom

Wear your allegiance to Charlotte’s biggest football club on your wrist.

MATCH STORY

Charlotte’s first year in the big leagues was a wild success in the stands, setting numerous attendance records. But it was a tepid one in the table thanks to a tumultuous inaugural campaign. Luckily, the club’s many fervent supporters were rewarded withe momentous memory in the penultimate home match of the season. Hosting Supporter Shield-chasing Philadelphia — who had only lost four times to that point in the 2022 season — Charlotte jumped out to a shock first-half lead through Mexican striker Daniel Ríos. The goal was just his fourth of the campaign. But in the second half, Ríos would nearly double his season output by adding a further three goals in a 4-0 shutout of the eventual Eastern Conference champs.

DESIGN STORY

The match side is flanked by stacks of Liberty coins, a homage to Charlotte’s historic mint which itself served as the inspiration to the club’s first away kits. As a nod to the city’s “Queen City” moniker, the reverse features a crown design in the club colors.
